Been told late last week that UNLV had offered Pitino after UNLV representatives met with the coach early in the week. Source I do not know but a close friend who lives in Las Vegas met and spoke to him continuously to make an attempt to get him to UNLV.
Was told he just doesn't want to make the move. I think he is going to stay at Louisville and then retire.
Was told that UNLV offer would have made him one of the top paid coaches in the NCAA and gave him full control of the program and large stake in the future of the athletic department.
I can also inform you that Pitino was swayed by given % of stake in a development in Las Vegas. Pitino doesn't want to leave UL obviously so thats the end of that.
I do have more news on the UNLV coaching search. Stay tuned!
